926. Chapter 924: Sacrificing Oneself for Others

"Hehe, this time I not only want to slay you, this disaster, but I can also seize your Spirit Crystal!"

In the instant Lu Yuan's thoughts raced.

Watching his finger draw ever closer to Yang Xuechan, his heart pounded wildly, hot tears of excitement welling up in his eyes.

This is Lu Yuan's glory!

Swish…

However

At this critical moment, the originally unconscious Yang Xuechan suddenly opened her eyes; those ice‑blue eyes seemed to contain the profundity of a starry sea.

Swish swish swish! An endless cold current surged into Lu Yuan's body, instantly freezing his blood and True Qi, rendering him unable to move; his whole body became like a statue, stiff in place.

"Huh?"

Jiang Heng and the other stared in astonishment at Yang Xuechan.

They never expected Yang Xuechan to actually wake up.

Yang Xuechan slowly rose to her feet, a faint cold smile appearing on her lovely face, her gaze icy as she fixed it on Lu Yuan, her voice chilling to the bone.

"Lu Yuan, what a noble soul who sacrifices himself for others!"

Hum—

A burst of cold qi erupted from her body.

That cold qi swept over them, causing Jiang Heng and the others to shudder all over, feeling a creepy sensation, and they instinctively retreated three feet.

One by one, they stared in shock at the standing Yang Xuechan.

Lu Yuan's body trembled violently, he swallowed hard with difficulty.

"Who, who are you? How is this possible? I clearly sealed her True Qi completely—how could she still be alive? No, absolutely impossible!"

"Lu Yuan, you have disappointed me greatly!"

Yang Xuechan let out a soft sigh, lifted her head to gaze at the dark night sky, and murmured to herself.

"Brother, I have finally found what Mother left behind; rest assured, Xuechan will surely bring you home!"

Boom—! The void trembled.

At the apex of the heavens, rolling thunder exploded.

Boom—! Dark clouds gathered, obscuring the stars.

The terrifying cold caused all surrounding plants to turn into frost, drifting in the air.

"Oh no…" Jiang Heng's face changed drastically, he exclaimed in alarm, "Quickly stop her!"

Jiang Heng and Jiang Lin attacked simultaneously.

Two vast streams of True Qi surged forth, intertwining in the void to form two ferocious pythons.

The pythons opened their blood‑filled maws, carrying the terrifying momentum of devouring the starry sky, and fiercely charged at Yang Xuechan.

Boom! The two pythons struck Yang Xuechan from behind, causing her delicate body to sway and stagger forward half a step.

But she quickly steadied herself, turned calmly, and gave Jiang Heng and his companion an indifferent glance: "With you lot, do you even deserve to hurt me?"

"What?"

Jiang Heng's face changed again.

Jiang Lin also widened his eyes, feeling that cold emanating from Yang Xuechan's body, his mind and spirit trembling.

"Such powerful cold qi, even more terrifying than Li Yuan Gang's Ice Frost Domain…"

Lu Yuan's face twitched wildly, he stared at Yang Xuechan in utter shock: "How is this possible?"

"Yang Xuechan actually possesses such terrifying power?"

"Just who is she?"

Jiang Heng and Jiang Lin were both blank‑faced, looking at Jiang Heng: "Do you know her?"

Jiang Heng gave a slight nod.

Although Yang Xuechan is famed as a once‑in‑a‑century monster of Jiu Zhou…

But, from the moment she was born, Jiang Heng had already seen her.

Even…

He had even once followed Li Yuan Gang and crossed hands with Yang Xuechan.

Although back then he could not defeat Yang Xuechan, he was still proud enough.

Even though hundreds of years have passed, he still feels that Yang Xuechan is at most his equal.

However…

The once‑weak Yang Xuechan now possesses the power to crush them—this gap makes Jiang Heng's face look terrible: "Jiang Heng, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and use your secret technique, or else we'll all die here!"

"Alright, I'll help you!"

Jiang Heng gritted his teeth, took a pill, his eyes blazing with scarlet light, and his body suddenly swelled.

Only to see his body surface covered with dense flame runes.

"Burning lifespan?"

Lu Yuan's face changed drastically.

At this moment… Jiang Heng's aura rose to its peak, like an unrivaled king spanning the heavens.

"Ice Dragon Roar!"

Yang Xuechan growled low.

An ice sword floated beside her, emitting a piercing cold glow.

Whoosh—

Ice sword shatters the void; wherever it passes, the void cracks inch by inch, leaving a white trace.

That icy sword aura pierces layer after layer of void, directly slashing down.

Boom! Jiang Heng waved his fists, blocking in front of him.

But this sword was too overbearing and fierce, it directly tore apart his defense.

The peerlessly sharp icy sword qi swept across Jiang Heng's chest, blood spraying everywhere.

Sizzle—

Jiang Heng's body was directly split into two halves.

"Hiss!"

Jiang Heng sucked in a cold breath, his eyes flashing with disbelief as he looked at Yang Xuechan, roaring repeatedly: "You dare kill me?"

"Hmph!"

Yang Xuechan gave a cold snort and kicked out.

Rumble—

With that kick, Jiang Heng was sent flying, smashing into the rocks.

Yang Xuechan's figure flickered, and the bonds on Lu Yuan's side vanished instantly.

Whoosh……

Lu Yuan violently spat out a mouthful of turbid qi, hastily struggled to his feet, and fled toward the distance.

"Lu Yuan, do you think I'm still the same as before?" Yang Xuechan's voice was clear and pleasant.

But those words were like a death knell, causing Lu Yuan's body to stiffen and stop.

He slowly turned his head, staring blankly at Yang Xuechan, his pupils constricting as fear showed.

At this moment, Yang Xuechan was enveloped in silver cold mist, like a banished immortal descending to the mortal world, exquisite beyond compare.

"Yang Xuechan, you actually broke through... this is impossible... impossible!"

Lu Yuan's face turned deathly pale, his lips trembling, panic-stricken.

Yang Xuechan is a martial artist of the sixth level.

Lu Yuan had just broken through to the fifth level.

Logically, Lu Yuan should have no power to resist, yet the result was exactly the opposite.

Lu Yuan not only lacked any resistance, he didn't even have the qualification to dodge Yang Xuechan's attacks.

"I know you must be wondering how I became so strong."

Yang Xuechan stepped step by step toward Lu Yuan, the corners of her mouth curling into a sneer.

"Actually, I am not the Yang Xuechan you remember, because... my name is Luo Yao!"

Luo Yao?

Upon hearing that name, Jiang Heng and Jiang Lin were both shaken to the core.

Luo Yao, a world-renowned supreme expert of Jiu Zhou.

In those distant ancient ages, she once roamed Jiu Zhou, overwhelming the eight wastes and six unions.

Unfortunately, she fell too early, causing the entire martial world of Jiu Zhou to almost forget her existence.

Unexpectedly…

She is actually still alive!

Buzz— At the moment the three were shocked, strands of silver radiance poured into Yang Xuechan's forehead.

Moments later, she opened her eyes.

Her pupils shone like rainbows, sharp light intimidating.

"Congratulations, Master, congratulations, Master..."

A group of little sprites cheered and frolicked, circling around Yang Xuechan.

They chirped noisily.

Their voices were sweet and pleasant, making listeners feel comfortable.

Yang Xuechan's lips curled slightly, revealing a charming smile.

"You guys are great too!"

"Huh? Master's realm has already reached the peak of the sixth level?" The many little sprites stared, then rejoiced greatly. (End of chapter)

The many little sprites were stunned, then they were overjoyed. (End of chapter)
